Manager Rlhf Jobs in Illinois (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary:
Salesforce is the #1 AI CRM, where humans with agents drive customer success together. They are seeking a highly skilled AI Platform Engineer to build the next generation of their ML/AI platform, focusing on infrastructure that supports autonomous AI agents at enterprise scale.
Responsibilities:
• Design and build agent harness infrastructure: the scaffolding that wraps LLM calls, manages tool use, handles retries, enforces policy, and feeds results back into iterative improvement loops.
• Implement agentic loop patterns with multi-turn reasoning, tool orchestration, memory management, and structured output handling as reusable platform primitives
• Build the agent flywheel: automated pipelines that collect agent traces, surface regressions, route failures to evaluation, and close the loop from production signal back to prompt/model improvement
• Own the end-to-end lifecycle from agent experiment to production deployment, including versioning, rollout controls, and rollback mechanisms
• Build sandboxed execution environments for agent tools with isolating code execution, API calls, and file system access so agents can act without unconstrained blast radius
• Design tiered autonomy models: define which actions agents can take automatically, which require human approval, and which are off-limits and enforced at the infrastructure layer
• Implement replay and dry-run capabilities so new agent versions can be tested against real traces before going live
• Implement evaluation frameworks for agent behavior using a combination of vendor, open source or in house built tools — covering task success, tool selection accuracy, trajectory evaluation, hallucination rates, latency, and cost
• Build and maintain eval datasets, golden trace libraries, and regression test suites that run automatically on every agent code change
• Instrument agent traces end-to-end: LLM calls, tool invocations, intermediate reasoning, final outputs — surfaced in Grafana or equivalent observability tooling
• Define and track agent quality metrics over time; own the signal that tells the team whether agents are getting better or worse
• Drive continuous quality, latency, and cost improvements across deployed agents by closing the loop between production traces, evaluations, and agent design. Optimization may be done through a variety of techniques e.g. prompt tuning, tool calling optimizations, context engineering, right-sizing model selection per task and explore distillation or fine-tuning (SFT, DPO, RLHF) on curated trace data to name a few
• Validate every optimization through A/B tests, shadow deployments, and replay against golden traces, with the eval suite gating rollout so wins are real and regressions are caught before they reach users
• Build and optimize CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, ArgoCD) that cover not just code deployment but agent evaluation gates — no agent ships without passing its eval suite
• Automate Docker and package builds, security scanning, and agent integration tests as first-class pipeline steps
• Design self-healing CI patterns where agent-based automation can diagnose and fix common pipeline failures
• Build internal tools and developer self-service interfaces that let ML engineers and data scientists iterate on agents without platform team involvement
• Maintain a comprehensive view of how all platform components -> infrastructure, agent harnesses, evaluation pipelines, observability — work together
• Create architecture diagrams and drive long-term platform vision; own the "how does this scale to 10x" conversation
• Establish alerting (Grafana, PagerDuty) for both traditional platform health and agent-specific signals (error rates, tool call failures, eval score drift)
• Ensure all agent infrastructure adheres to security best practices: sandboxed execution, auditable traces, access controls on every tool
• Participate in security reviews; own compliance for agent workloads
Qualifications:
Required:
• 9+ years as a Platform Engineer, ML Infrastructure Engineer, or Software Engineer
• Demonstrated experience building agent harness infrastructure using agentic loops, tool orchestration, structured output handling, multi-turn conversation management
• Hands-on experience with agent evaluation frameworks like Braintrust, LangSmith, or equivalent, including building eval datasets, running automated regression suites, and tracking quality metrics over time
• Strong understanding of sandboxing and safe agent execution like isolation patterns, tiered autonomy, blast radius controls
• Experience with context Engineering as it relates to Agent orchestration.
• Strong Python engineering skills for building scalable tools, automation, and platform components
• Deep expertise in AWS
• Extensive experience with CI/CD tooling, especially GitHub Actions and ArgoCD
• Proficiency in infrastructure-as-code (Terraform)
• Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes)
• Experience with AgentOps concepts and production Multi Agent systems
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to manage multiple priorities across a complex platform
Preferred:
• Experience with Salesforce Ecosystem including Agentforce and Data360
• Experience with unstructured databases(vector or graph databases) and RAG pipelines
• Experience working with modern data platforms and real-time processing frameworks, including cloud data warehouses (e.g., snowflake), streaming technologies (e.g. kafka, flink)
